I have been using ATN NV/Thermal's for almost 10 years now and love how much more fun I can have predator/hog hunting. After using ATN's thermal scopes it was a done deal, I couldn't go back to NV. That being said, I have broken out the NV on my LMT AR for use with my Meopta MeoStar 1.5-6x42 RD. The illuminated reticle makes getting on corn thieves quick and easy. The ATN THOR 4 is one heck of a thermal, quick and easy to use and holds up a 7.62 just fine.
